To start off, I got my lavender orpingtons from a nearby country store. I’m assuming they’ve been hatched for 2-3 days.
I got 3 Lavender Opringtons 3 hours ago and I have yet to see them eat or drink. When I got my 5 barnevelders last year they seemed to all take to eating and drinking right away. The lavenders were really active in the store and now they seem a bit slower. I’ve always wanted lavenders and now that I have them Im very worried. Attached is the brooder set up. They’re not peeping at all, they were on the car ride home.
I dipped their beaks in the water just in case since I did that with my last chicks and it seemed to help. I’m feeding them Purina Start and Grow Crumbles
